What it Was

Chocolate bomb
sherbet fizz
soda
POP
fairy floss
wrapped inside
a liquorice whip
a mule kick
a honey smack
a lamb rack
with rosemary stack
soaked in oil
and dripping wet
burnt toast with honey and jam
all that I am
all I was
a forgetful baby Albatross
that learned how to soar
just took off and left
with all that water below
like a tin of fresh blue paint
now shaken awake
this ocean in wait
to plunge in the brush
as creamy as cake
so follow this ride
feel enamel inside
so sticky and smelly
and shiny and sweet
